About our ductwork cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you’re dealing with duct runs with no cleaning record and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Hurstpierpoint are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Hurstpierpoint kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs and bars in and around Hurstpierpoint, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Hurstpierpoint. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Hurstpierpoint are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hurstpierpoint is The Dene Hospital, about 2.1 miles north. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Lawrence CofE Primary School or anywhere near Hurstpierpoint, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Hurstpierpoint Baptist Church, or anywhere in Hurstpierpoint, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
FAQs for Hurstpierpoint
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hurstpierpoint?
Hurstpierpoint is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Hurstpierpoint?
Yes, Hurstpierpoint is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Hurstpierpoint?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Hurstpierpoint hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. A planned visit to Hurstpierpoint fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
